There’s a six inch swapper on the loose in the St. Louis area. If you are aware of anyone who gets off on doing this, please tell that person to get a life. This is terrible for the hobby and depressing if any kid gets one of these as a present.

Solo Toy Launch
If you went out hunting for new Star Wars product on Friday, chances are you were pretty underwhelmed by what was on the pegs (i.e. lack thereof).
Personally, I found a few things I wanted after driving around a bit, but it was pretty sad to see just how little retailers seemed to care about having new product out for the April 13 street date (I could not find one single carded figure anywhere – I struggle with calling this as a “launch” at all).
If you did score some good stuff though, we’d love to hear about it and see pics in our forums.
New Enloe Trials Customs

Target Enforcing Solo April 13 Street Date (kinda)
If your local Target store starts putting out Solo launch toys early, don’t be surprised to get a “denied” message at the register… except for one group of items that are being allowed for sale.
